Abstract

In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of Pseudocarcharias kamoharai. The complete mitogenome of P. kamoharai is 16,694 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (O_L). Overall, base composition of mitogenome is estimated to be 32.06% for A, 23.63% for C, 13.21% for G and 31.10% for T. The complete mtDNA sequence of P. kamoharai provides a useful data for the studies on the molecular systematic phylogeography and population genetics.
